Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) cool, what's their descriptions so I can ifferentiate them from the rest? Four new eggs means I won't be able to get one male and one femaale of each upon first collection, d'aww! Edited May 25, 2018 by Thaliel Share this post Link to post

Leodon (Volcano): "This red and gold egg sits before the others, almost daring you to grab it." Lacula (Coast): "This green and silver egg lurks in the shadows, tempting you to steal it." Melismor (Forest): "This heavy egg has an earthy scent, like freshly-tilled soil." Razorcrest (Alpine): "This blue and bronze egg piques your curiosity." Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 9 hours ago, PieMaster said: Not quite the same, but pretty similar? Okay, but notice how its back paws are BARELY off the ground? The Melismor male's lower half is literally floating in a way where the spine would have no way to support it unless EVERY vertebrae in its body was capable of holding up its entire body weight. Its midsection/lower back is holding up its entire tail, legs, and hips. The front of the dragon is not engaged in a pouncing pose - it is stationary. It moreso looks like a horse bucking, but horses need to move their heads down in order to get a good buck that would lift its back legs that high - the male's head is leaning back, not down. The momentum is all going towards its ribcage; there is no body there to support it. The back half looks like it's leaping straight down, whereas the front looks as if it's standing or moving forward. It almost looks as if some wizard is lifting its hind end separately with magic... just picking it up and flopping it around while the dragon was just trying to stand there enjoying its day. Actually, I think that image makes it look really funny and more realistic 😁 Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 The adults are all so stunning! Much more handsome than I thought they'd be from the infant sprites. Thanks again for the release, happy anniversary Share this post Link to post

A big thank you to all the spriters involved! Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 The Lacula is all I've ever wanted in a dragon. Thank you very much, Shajana! Share this post Link to post

But yeah, the front looks a bit static for that too, now that I look closer. 😅 Share this post Link to post

Posted May 25, 2018 Just seeing the adults for the first time, gorgeous! Love the color concepts, blue-beige of the Razorcrest is so beautiful! The Leodons are my favs I think, they look very royal ❤️ Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 I actually appreciate the art update. I kinda wish other dragons would get one as well. I don't see what the big deal is. (But then again, a lot of my favorite dragons are newer, so I guess I'm just biased? I thought everyone did a good job with the update...) Share this post Link to post

Posted May 25, 2018 I know that everyone keeps saying these guys are a reference to Harry Potter, but...have any of the spriters actually confirmed this? Or is it just speculation? I'm not a Harry Potter fan myself, so it doesn't make much of a difference to me. Just curious. Share this post Link to post

Posted May 25, 2018 Got to admit that, while I really very much appreciate the attempt to give seasonals an updated appearance, I'm not even slightly a fan of the seasonal sprite change, with the exception of the summer seasonals (though that's easy for me to say - I didn't like those very much previously). A few gripes I have, if anyone is curious (and please do keep in mind they're probably just my own subjective oddities of perception) -- the winter seasonals suddenly have a violet-tinged crest with a fatter central 'crystal', and the tailfluff is now spikey instead of rounded and feathery. The female autumn seasonal has the appearance of having a really thick neck. The springs' heads were raised significantly, leaving the female sprite with a feel of a completely different pose. The changes aren't terrible, but the winter seasonal crest tweak does break my heart a little bit. ;_; I really like what happened to the red sprite, though - it captures the scaly heraldicness of the old sprite surprisingly well for something that has a completely different style! o_O Way to go, birdz! ❤️ Loving the new features, too. For some reason I wasn't expecting those to ever be added, but here they are! Thank you so much. And the Melismors are floofy perfection. ❤️ Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 I love the Melismors so much, I made a little comic about a farm boy named Eddie and his carrot dilemma. According to @Malcorium, Melismors' magic is capable of invigorating the plantlife in the soil around their burrows for bigger, tastier foods. Under the spoiler because the images are rather large and may stretch the page. Spoiler Melismors are friend shaped. ♥ Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Ha, it's never been so easy to get a second set of new release eggs - I just waltzed into the biomes and grabbed them, they were just sitting there! That's good news for people who missed the release, or haven't got all variants yet. Edited May 25, 2018 by walkinslow Share this post Link to post

Hide contents Melismors are friend shaped. ♥ For some reason, these images appear to me as a long list of text and broken images. When I open them on a new tab, they ask for my google password. I don't think that's how it's supposed to work... Also, the AP is filled with less than 3 day low time eggs. It's been a long time since I've seen the AP this low when it wasn't a holiday.
